TO save me the headache of trying to find it in over 600 pages. could someone please post the link again on how to track which ships are leaving Curtis Bay and also how to check which cars are on which boats, pleeeeease

Hi All, of those who take your vehicles off road, does anyone disable the ABS, & in particular the Airbag system? Does the Jeep have the ability to manage the different driving conditions and the safety systems deployment. Just a question I was asked.

Thanks,
Dom

I have never thought of disabling the air-bags off-road even if it was possible. If the car hits something hard enough to trigger the air-bags, I would rather they went off than not regardless if off-road or not.
The Jeep does a good job of adapting to varying terrain but it also has settings for specific terrain. This terrain traction control is really just an adaptation of ABS. If the ABS was turned off, all this sophistication would be lost. You might just as well have bought a Holden Colorado. The only reason for turning the ABS off is to do burn-outs in the car park but even that might not be possible because the ABS never goes off completely.

I'm looking for advice on a phone which integrates well with Uconnect. I have looked at the compatibility charts on the US Jeep website, but even if I can find a phone that is sold here, there's no guarantee that it has the same features - especially since some seem to be carrier related. I think the main features are phonebook download, Bluetooth streaming, text to voice and voice to text (as well as phone calls!).
I am pretty much stuck with Telstra, and probably want an Android phone, but if iPhones work better, that's OK too.
Any thoughts on what works well?
Thanks,
Russell

Hi Russell, I have an iPhone 4s and it works perfectly with the Uconnect, the Bluetooth streaming is fault free, when listening to music and I leave the car and return the Uconnect picks up the connection and starts playing where it left off hours before without having to touch anything also the Album covers will show up on the Uconnect screen and you can select them as you would by using the phone.
As to the voice text thing I am not sure as I haven't tried it. All other features like the phone book and receiving and making a call work perfectly. Hope this helps in your decision making.
Cheers, Greg.

On the Limited when you press this 'map button' it will bring up a small mini GPS map which shows your location. Or if selected a place you want to navigate to, this map is very handy when, say you are looking at the Radio screen for stations but still need to follow a route. Strange that it is coming up on your screen in the Laredo, but goes to show that there is some sort of interlink between the different systems. I think that Chrysler Jeep could do themselves and us a big favour by having all the U-Connect systems the same, and this includes the reversing camera. Does make you wonder what goes through their heads sometimes??

Thanks Barboots and Gforce.

There's a definite link between systems and I think it's more than likely a case of can't be bothered. It's a pity because I would definitely pay to have Nav integrated into the screen.

P.s. I'm still waiting for the reverse cam to be installed. Waited 2 months already!!

No need, I found it.

On board the Tonsberg eta 30/10.

Trivial but interesting, the Tonsberg is registered in Malta, where my wife's dad is from

I have a samsung s3 and get most of the above to work.. with the exception of voice to text... but that maybe an australian thing and not phone issue. Have a number of dropouts listening to music via bluetooth... but dealer says that is a phone thing as they don't experience it with their I phones... but some members will dispute that here as their samsungs work fine

Voice to text works on an S3. The whole voice to text system is pretty flawed, it only works on pre defined responses. The responses are listed in the uconnect, I remember I managed to bring them up once. Never had any drop outs on an S3, that said, my phone is in for repairs, so maybe when it works properly ill loose these features.
